Description
Rutile electrode, core wire alloyed, stainless steel. Preferably used for 1.4306 / 304L / 304LN
steel grades.
BÖHLER FOX EAS 2-A is noted for its superior welding characteristics and metallurgy. Can be
used on AC or DC. Other characteristics include high current carrying capacity, minimum
spatter formation, self releasing slag, smooth and clean weld profile, safety against formation
of porosity due to moisture resistant coating and packaging into hermetically sealed tins.
Resistant to intergranular corrosion up to +350 °C.
